Update: 10-22-17. KRONOS K70 GB. $50. 243 on list!

I was really interested until I realised that this is basically an over driven S70S with a pretty body and a bigger board.
If that’s it then I don’t see why it is worth it.

It looks like it’d just going to get silly hot, have a temperature drop down after 3 minutes which even Thorfire fixed and then its the case of crappy replies.

If I was asking questions to a seller and they started getting shirty with me I’d move along and buy something else. The pre-sale is the chance to show off how amazing you are, how much you care about your customers, how much you know about your product and the time to get to really sell it. If you’re just skipping over questions and saying “wait” whats the point in posting it to begin with.

OK. Sorry, hIKARInoob. I was the one who misunderstood. :person_facepalming:

Thanks for explaining, Fritz.

Don’t worry about it; I truly appreciate the sharing of thoughts. :wink:

interested in one

In for at least one piece

With up to 9 amps, it will most likely stay at 3 minutes.

It is an idea we can certainly look into. To make it happen would require a redesign of the head/reflector and possibly a new round of samples/prototypes (potentially more delays)…but we’ll see what we can come up with! :slight_smile:

Feel the Love in the room :slight_smile:

So let’s add a fan then for longer high output runtimes?

Here are some simpler to employ ideas. Just leave some extra mass where avaliable (the red areas) assuming the driver cavity is not filled up by a big coil.

Then more surface area below the fins on the bottom part of the head. These are small changes, but could really help with cooling.

Check this out.

Is the side switch going to be able to turn the light on and off or will it only switch modes?

If only switch modes, that means you have to make the light feel good with a reverse grip on the end so your thumb can hit the end switch to turn on and off. You have kind of a bulky end cap. Maybe it’s size feels good, maybe awkward? I would just make sure it feels good.

Personally I like turning my L6 on and off with the side switch with the rear being a lock out.

Have you guys came up with a firmware yet? Something like the ramping UI in Narsil would really make this light stand out from the rest. There are very few factory lights that have ramping. Having it would help justify the higher price. It would make it a more premium light to match it’s upscale looks.

And also make the head in one piece, as most of the fins are just cosmetic…justbuyanL6 :smiley:

Maybe do a factory bypass on the springs like the L6. Possibly use braided copper instead of a wire.

You could even offer a hot rod version of this light with a FET driver. 11 or 12 amps would really be spittin out the lumens. :slight_smile:

9 amps is not bad, though. What would that be in lumens, over 5,000? Pretty decent.

Also make sure the battery tube is long enough for both short, 65mm, and long, 70mm, batteries. I’m sure some folks would want to use the protected KeepPower 5200 cells which were a bit too long for the L6. They are good for at least 9.7 amps.

There a lot of good ideas that have been posted…some of which we are looking at. I won’t make any promises on anything…but we are certainly open to improvements on this or future lights.

As far as the request for more information…much of that is up in the air and dependent upon how the latest prototype performs.

We will attempt to answer what we can in the next few days, and then provide much more information after we have tested the latest samples.

Pricing is not yet set in stone. We will price it as aggressively as possible considering features of the light.

Cheers,
krono

Fins everywhere, sounds good to me… DBC 03

[Content deleted, non-applicable to the thread - sorry bout that, I tend to get carried away. :blush: ]

I do like what’s been done design wise with this K70, some tweaks for thermal management could allow it to become quite a flashlight.

K70 in for two

I would like to be added to the list for one as well. Team KRONOS.
:sunglasses:

Nice Kronos, thanks for addressing some questions, ecting to see what comes out of it!
it puts lots of questions on hold.

In the mean time, could you address these questions please?

1 question that has nothing to do with the expected prototype:

thanks

Renders were done by TF. I think you mentioned something about us only having renders in your earlier post that has since been edited…but check the OP again…they’re not all renders. There are some pics mixed in of the protos that will be sent to us. :+1:

As of now, a different tint is not an option, but we would consider if there were enough interest.
